What to Buy (and Skip) at Starfield COEX Mall (스타필드 코엑스몰)

Upon entering Starfield COEX Mall (스타필드 코엑스몰), I was struck by its expansive layout and modern design. The atmosphere buzzes with excitement, and honestly, I didn’t expect such a comprehensive mix of shopping, entertainment, and culture all in one place. It felt almost like a small city within itself.

What did I buy and what did I skip?

This mall works for everyone, but I found myself drawn to the lifestyle shops that offered unique Korean brands. Fashion items caught my eye, especially the local boutiques that highlight contemporary designs. One shop sold eco-friendly accessories that really stood out.

However, while browsing through various beauty product stores, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices. It’s easy to get sidetracked by trendy items that may not actually fit your needs. If you’re considering a purchase from a beauty store, maybe do some research ahead of time on popular products to save time. I noticed most guides skip this detail.

What are the price realities here?

The price range at Starfield COEX Mall is quite varied. You’ll find affordable options as well as high-end brands. For example, casual fashion might start around ₩30,000 (about $22 USD), while luxury labels can easily climb into the millions of won.

But here’s the thing: if you want food options after shopping, prepare for meal prices that can range significantly too. A meal at one of the sit-down restaurants might set you back ₩15,000 (about $11 USD), while snacks at kiosks may be around ₩5,000 (about $4 USD). It’s worth budgeting accordingly.

How can you get the best deals?

If you have time during your visit, check out less crowded hours during weekdays when many shops might offer additional discounts to attract customers. Being flexible with your shopping schedule could really pay off.

Is it worth a special trip?
